Plan your visit
Practical answers for your days in Luxor. If your question isn’t here, send it on WhatsApp.
When to come
- What is the best season?
- October to April is the comfortable season, with warm days and cool evenings. December and January are the busiest months.
- Can I visit in summer?
- Yes, but from May to September it is very hot by late morning. We start at opening time, take the middle of the day off, or go in the late afternoon.
- What time do the temples open?
- Most sites open early in the morning. Luxor Temple stays open into the evening and is lit after dark. Opening hours change with the season, so I confirm them when we plan.
On the day
- What should I wear?
- Light, loose clothes that cover your shoulders, a hat, sunglasses and comfortable closed shoes. The ground in the temples is uneven.
- What should I bring?
- Water, sun cream, your passport or a copy for some ticket offices, and a card and some cash for tickets and small purchases.
- Can I take photos?
- Phone photos are allowed at the temples. Rules for cameras and tombs change from time to time, so ask me before your visit.
Booking
- How do I book?
- Send me a WhatsApp message with your dates, group size and hotel. I reply with a plan and a price.
- Do I pay in advance?
- [deposit and payment method]
- Where do you pick us up?
- [pickup area: hotels on the East and West Bank? cruise boats?]
- Are entry tickets included?
- Tickets are paid at each site, at the gate. I tell you the current prices when we plan.
The tombs
- Can you guide us inside the Valley of the Kings?
- Guides are not allowed to talk inside the tombs. I explain each tomb before you go in, then wait for you outside. That is why my tours focus on the temples, where I can guide you all the way through.
